Happy Birthday to my sweet, smart, growing-up-to-fast, beautiful girl! I'm afraid to blink...she'll be 20 if I do sniff, sniff. A few friends came to join us for a slumber party. Did you know that Mad Libs are still around...they are. Lots of girl fun happening here:

Meet Callie
Our newest family member, Callie has been a little blessing for us during a hard time. Towards the end of summer Pawpaw got very sick and wasn't expected to pull through. The kids were extremely upset and were in need of a little distraction while Matt and I deal with what may come. We found her at a shelter estimated 4 weeks old. She immediately stole our hearts and we brought her home.
After many prayers I'm very happy to say that Pawpaw has made a miraculous recovery and is at home right now and is walking. Our prayers are now for thanksgiving for this wonderful miracle.
Deo Gratias!

Happy 4th of July!!!
We started the week off with some blueberry picking at the Blueberry Hill farm in Edom, TX We picked 12LBs of blueberries!
I was so excited to get cancelled from work and join in on the 4th festivities!!! We went to Sachse's firework celebration on the 3rd which we LOVED! They had a live band, bounce houses, and different vendors passing out free stuff. The kids were dancing, playing, and wearing themselves out before the show...perfect! Then on the 4th, we had a big dinner with Mimi and Pawpaw and all the trimmings from steak to potato salad to flag cake for dessert. YUM!

Spring 2013
Well, its been extremely busy here these last few months! Jake had his tonsils, adenoids, and turbinates removed on Mother's day weekend. After a very painful recovery the following week...a new, much improved Jake appeared. In these last few months his breathing has improved and we all are is sleeping better!
We had our end of the year recitals for piano/violin. The girls also had a very entertaining dance recital. Matthew had a test in karate in which he earned his yellow belt...Yay Matthew! Rachael had a little flowers tea party and Ava finished her last soccer games for the season. Phew! I'm sure there was a few things I missed but you get the idea. Here are some pics from our fast-flying spring...
